From Elisabeth Müller Berlin, Germany Jun 26, 2008 Positive john is a fun person to hang out with. i enjoyed the time with him, watching football ( ....schlaand) , screaming in the streets, dancing to "put your hands up for detroit" and playing "schulz".

From Oskar Gudehn Bergby, Sweden May 28, 2008 Positive I was really too busy to be a good host. We didn't even have the time to talk very much, I was working and sleeping the whole time =(

From Bram van den Reijen Amsterdam, Netherlands May 27, 2008 Positive I hosted John and I've shown him around in the centre of Amsterdam. We still mail each other, because I want to know how the rest of his backpacking journey will go.
If you ever get the opportunity to host John, I think you should, because he's a really nice guy, with lots of hair.
From Hsinping Pai Bangor, United Kingdom May 27, 2008 Positive John is a patient, flexible, and easy going person.
From David Morrissey Lennon Tulla, Ireland (Republic of) May 26, 2008 Positive John... when the shadows have stolen the reflections of the moon, when the dreams of children have dissolved in the gloom, when the widows of the river have sung their last tune... there will be John.
Nice chap, really.
